# Summary of Course

Over the past weeks we have looked at an introduction to cyber
security, what are the issue that can effect us, and what can we do to
stay safe?

We have looked at what security is the top threats to people and
organisations, and what this means for you.

We also examined our online data presence, looking at how social
engineering can be used to get information about people.  This
information could be used to attack an organisation, or to defraud
individuals.  We learnt that restricting the information you have
online is the best defence here.

We also examined some technical aspects of Hacking.  How passwords
work, and what this means for our security.  Then did some actual
hacking based on two common web vulnerabilities.

Finally we looked at who the hackers are, the legal implications of
hacking, and how countries can protect themselves.



Thanks for taking part, hope you enjoyed it.
